Just had a look at the sort of stuff served up from Acorn and Britbox. Most of
the Acorn stuff is unknown to us Brits in Britland, unless the programmes have
been re-titled. Britbox however, has far better material both for drama and
comedy. As for the cars, itâ??s nice to see anything of any make that isnâ??t
Eurobox or Jap***p. For the record, most Triumph owners over here, prefer not
to rent their cars to TV companies for the â??periodâ?? look. There have been a
few too many claims for damage on set or mistreatment by TV crews. Owners are
not usually allowed to drive them unless itâ??s a â??distantâ?? shot. Not that
you get paid much anyway.
